Regular skin checks are a key part of identifying skin cancer early. During a full skin exam, our dermatologists examine spots, moles, and other skin growths for signs of potential issues such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma.

Keeping up with routine exams helps catch problems before they progress. Noticing changes in the size, shape, or color of a mole—or spotting something new—should prompt a visit. When needed, we may perform further testing or a biopsy to ensure a proper diagnosis and next steps for treatment.
